Why Can't I Register for the 2018 Southwest Section 504 Conference?


CESD utilizes Enrollment Caps.

We try to keep our conferences as personal as possible to provide opportunities for participants to ask questions of our presenters. To maintain this benefit and to keep folks as comfortable as possible, each of our events will have limited enrollment. The enrollment cap for the 2018 Southwest Section 504 Conference has been reached and registration for this conference is closed.


What does that mean?  

All valid registrations (with check or valid purchase order) received in our office via fax OR postmarked by October 26, 2018 will be accepted, and the registrant will receive an email confirmation that she/he has been registered. All other registrations for the event, and those who attempt to register on-site will be turned away.


Can I register on site?  

Do not attempt to register on-site. The cap has been reached and we will not be able to accommodate you. We regret the need to cap attendance, but feel that this is the only mechanism available to maintain the character and interaction of our events. Register early to avoid missing out or call for availability.


What if I already received a confirmation email for the Section 504 conference?  

Then you are registered and we look forward to seeing youin November!


Why can't you go to a bigger hotel?  

We've considered a larger venue and have determined that while a bigger crowd makes financial sense, costs for attendees would increase significantly and the event would no longer allow for the type of interaction between presenters and participants that we want to provide.


Can I buy a conference notebook even if I can't attend?

Yes.  Give us a call after the conference at 512-219-5043 for details.
